BS EN ISO 2178:2016

What is ISO 2178 - Measurement of coating thickness about?  

ISO 2178 specifies a method for non-destructive measurements of the thickness of non-magnetizable coatings on magnetizable base metals. The measurements are tactile and non-destructive on typical coatings. The probe or an instrument with the integrated probe is placed directly on the coating to be measured. The coating thickness is displayed on the instrument. 

In ISO 2178 the term “coating” is used for materials such as, for example, paints and varnishes, electroplated coatings, enamel coatings, plastic coatings, powder coatings, claddings. 

NOTE- This method can also be applied to the measurement of magnetizable coatings on non-magnetizable base metals or other materials  

Who is ISO 2178 - Measurement of coating thickness for? 

ISO 2178 on  measurement of coating thickness is useful for: 

• Coating thickness measurement instrument companies 
• Laboratories 
• Large scale industries 

Why should you use ISO 2178 - Measurement of coating thickness?  

ISO 2178 helps to provide a method for non-destructive measurements for finding the thickness of non-magnetizable coatings on the magnetizable base metal. 

ISO 2178 helps in measurements that are tactile and non-destructive on typical coatings. This probe or an instrument with the integrated probe is placed directly on the coating to be measured by users and gets displayed on the instrument.
